Cuomo’s GOP funder, defiantly, on Astorino

Laura Nahmias

ALBANY—Ken Langone, the billionaire founder of Home Depot and head of a group of "Republicans for Cuomo," does not have a high opinion of Rob Astorino.

“I’m not out there polling people about whether they’re going to help Astorino or not,” he told Capital in a phone interview Thursday.

“I don't think much of him,” Langone added, of the Westchester county executive freshly nominated by the Republican Party to run against Governor Andrew Cuomo.

I asked him why.

Sickening and sad that Cuomo and Langone are buddies.
